godbent | 2nd: The Rekindling of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Action]

[So, dressed in her big white coat, gloves, boots... you name it, the snow is finally last harsh now than it was yesterday and the day before, so Haruhi is setting off to do something after school and the meeting today. The moment she arrived in Luceti - okay not the moment, but within the first day - she heard the guy's voice before. Not Nala's, but the fire one, the one she remembers bonding with- Eferin. It's probably about time she evened the score with him. So today, she jogs out to the edge of the forest, and can be found there leaning against a tree, muttering to herself. If you happen to be good at listening you might hear some highlights, but by and large it's just here holding up a vague conversation with the spirit. Now and again sparks fly around her, but in a way this is welcome.

So, once the bond is secured, she nods to herself and decides to take it for a test run. She looks up at the snowing sky and shakes her head. There's that newfangled Battle Dome - which she doesn't want to go to - or the Barracks, but that's too close to Sokka's place. So in the end, she heads to the Rec Center. She'll be going to the Brigade meeting and school today of course, but the early evening finds her there. Initially, she's just inspecting things here, deciding what they should add in order to make it better...

While sitting in a chair juggling fireballs idly. She's testing her control over the fire element, okay.

Anyone is free to run into her at either time (DUMMY: Right after meeting: Forest's Edge, Evening: Rec Center)
EDIT: Brigade, if you didn't yet, giving me a heads up about things here would be wonderful.]

Whatever. [Now she recalls who this is. Okay. Whatever.]

[ buffy still has no idea, so she actually takes the whatever kinda poorly. ]

Gee, it was just a question.

Yeah, and I answered it. What am I supposed to say that it'll help out someone I don't know - "good for you?" "glad to help?" Both of those sound unnatural

[READ: I don't know how to react]

I...I guess.

[ god this is starting to feel startlingly familiar. and what was it that shiki had said? returned, only...buffy leans forward (though still a good feet off) and re-examines the hair, those ribbons, the facial expression. ]

Oh. No way.

Yeah, I'm Haruhi Suzumiya.

[Cold. But whatever, if you're going o be a wide-eyed fish like that she can be pissed]

Right. Of course -- and I have no doubt at all, with an attitude like that.

Whatever. [Stupid blondie]

Whatever. [ stupid girl who used to be a guy. ]

Oh yeah, that's really mature.

Do I really have to point out that you started the whatevering?

Do I need to point out you're the adult in this conversation?

You can't hide behind being a teenager forever.

And that somehow exonerates you from the necessity of maturity? As if.

Nope. See, I get my exoneration kicks from fighting fire with fire. Also known as dishing out a taste of your own medicine.

[ worst. guidance counselor. ever. ]

That just makes you look childish. [complete with a little hair-flip]

So, this has gotta be way freaksome for you.

[ an abrupt change of topic. ]

What're you talking about?

[Defensively, of course. Of course she knows what Buffy is probably on about, but... yeah]

Edited 2011-01-23 22:46 (UTC)

Well, I know I'd be freaked if I suddenly had everyone telling me I'm supposed to be something I'm not.

What, that's never happened to you before? [Snort. you have a story for everything, right]

Oh, it has. But you don't want to hear my version.

[ she learned right around the halloween insanity that hitting the dark subjects (like stints in mental institutions) around him--her is a bad move. ]

[At first she blinks, mildly surprised that Buffy would even recognize this]

...Huh.

[And that's all she has to say there. you don't get an answer :| ]

[ in fact, there are things that even buffy doesn't like divulging. this would be one of them. at least you're not running around trying to kill all your friends in the mistaken hope that it'll bring you back to reality. ]

Right. So the chill of the conversation isn't lost on me. I'm gonna...[ wait. buffy frowns. ] Haruhi? [ she is thankful for remembering the new name. ] How's -- I mean...obviously you can shoot me down if it's a bit too twenty-questions for you, but...how's Winry? Y'know, with all this?

[ despite their personal antagonism, suzumiya should know that she and winry are friends. though perhaps not that buffy was one of those who advocated on he--his part, for the relationship. ]

Wha... [...] How do you-

[...She'd only seen her yesterday. Yesterday for the first time since she got back. Haruhi's hands ball into fists and she grits her teeth a little]

...Go ask her if you want.
